Maybe not low enough for you, but I think that price MAY entice some other people to pay for it. I think they were way over-priced to begin with. They probably should have gone with only wine and beer and soft drinks free and less ambitious food. They may make some of those changes now.

Thinking about it now, I have to assume they had to actually have it open before they could propose it to the various people, as to whether they would pay for their clients to use it. So it makes sense that it would take a while to get that approval.

It is the fees at SJU...we fly IB frequently. I thought for the larger plane it was more than $500. We still choose SJU since the incremental cost on the trip isnt worth slowing us down from getting to base and getting out on the boat. This time we had another group meet us and they were late and IB waited 1.5 hours as the pilot Marshal indicated he had nothing else to do

SJU is a high cost airport to operate from. I suspect the cost difference is multiple fees the SJU airport charges.

And yes, we have euthanized several dogs ourselves. Hardest thing we've ever done. ....Which has ZERO to do with this discussion. We are talking about PUPPIES, who presumably have no medical issues.

This one is done.

It is sad but Oh my gosh if you still want to keep twisting my words apart ,yes IMO putting dogs to sleep is the best thing to do at times. . We had a sweet dog that had cancer and then sever mobility issues and suffering daily. We did everything we could. My daughter held her to comfort while they put the dog do sleep. Same in SXM , dogs get sick and do not find a new home and sometimes its the best option.

Was there end of May, beginning of June. Secrets was closed for renovation. Doubt it will open until next season. Didn't see any sign of life at Blue Sail so that was probably closed as well. There is a Petit Casino mini-market, a sushi restaurant, a couple of clothes shops and a laundry. That's it I think.

Dogs are quite adaptable.


Maybe it wasn't obvious I was not talking about EVERY dog that leaves SXM. Just in general I would think it safe to assume that not everyone that takes a dog from SXM has a nice big yard and most likely some people do live in condos and apartments and would need to cage them while at work for lots of reasons, which is common and ok. Certainly its a nice thing to rescue these dogs but it seems silly to again assume every dog ends up better off. IMO

There is an entire shopping area across the way from Secrets. (6-7 shops) Around the back side of the marina. Some restaurants and I think two other hotels/residences. This was in March. Could all be closed for low season. .
